For Better or For Worse
For Better or For Worse is a comic strip by Lynn Johnston.The strip chronicles the lives of a Canadian family and their friends. The father, John Patterson, a dentist whose hobby is model railroading, appears less often than the mother, Elly, a housewife turned store-owner. The happy couple have three children:
- Michael, married to former pharmacist Deanna (they have a daughter named Meredith)
- Elizabeth, a college student attending Nipissing University
- April, a teenaged daughter
The comic was based upon Johnston's real family and closely emulates them. Her son, unhappy at being constantly portrayed in the comic, is now alienated from her.
It is now an animated series broadcast on Canada's Teletoon.
